Is the first stage of the appeal over?

The Crown was due to end its submissions at today’s session of Abdelbaset Megrahi’s current appeal. Whether it did, in fact, do so and whether the first stage of the appeal accordingly came to an end, I cannot say since no media organisation has seen fit as yet to enlighten us. Perhaps tomorrow’s newspapers will let us know. But, given the paucity of the coverage to date, I would not recommend holding your breath.

After the conclusion of the first stage, the court is due to recess for a month before starting the second stage which is expected to be largely devoted to challenging the evidence of Tony Gauci and the conclusions that the trial court reached on that evidence.

  1. MALTA- Document no. 498/b

    Since August 1990, definitely a wrong date was created (7th of December, 1988) in order to accuse deliberately the libyan official Mr. Abdelbaset al Megrahi as the buyer of the cloths in "Mary's House".

    A further proof from MEBO that the sale of dresses in Anhony Gauci "Mary's House" took undoubtedly place on Wednesday, 23th of November 1988 by a supposedly Libyan buyer:

    Tony Gauci told Bollier on 25.1. 2008 in Malta, that the 2 pieces of pyjamas, label "John Mallia", were the last two pyjamas he had sold to a Libyan in his shop. On the other day, the 24th of November 1988, Gauci by phon ordered at the company "John Mallia" additionally 8 pieces of the same pyjamas. The 8 pyjamas were delivered on the 25th of November 1988 with the calculation/delivery note, dated 25th of November 1988 to Gauci' s Mary' s House at Sliema Malta. Prod. 477-1.

    The day after Wednesday, December 7, December 8, 1988 was an official public holiday (Immaculate Conception Day) and the "John
    Mallia" company was closed.
    But the day after November 23, November 24, 1988 was not an official public holiday, the company "John Mallia" was open.

    MEBO:
    Mr. Abdelbaset al Megrahi was not in Malta on Wednesday, 23th of November 1988, thus Mr. Megrahi is definetely not the buyer of the dresses !

  2. Dear Mr. Bollier,
    some of your messsages are indeed very interesting. But I don´t want to be drowned by a copy-and-paste-mashinery that spits out the same long messages again and again.

  3. MEBO Document no. 523.rtf.

    Announcement to some official experts, photographers of RARDE and to some Scottish police officers:

    The main subject dealt with the notorious 'timer circuit board *MST-13 fragment', called PT35B in the court records.
    FBI Special Agent and Task Force Chief Richard Marquise answered Gideon Levy's (VPRO) question G. L.: Would you have a case if you wouldn't have these evidence (MST-13 timer)? R.M.: Would we have a case. It would be a very dificult case to prove. It would be a very dificult case to prove ... I don't think we would ever had an indictment.

    And he said also: But I can tell you that now money was paid to any witness, any witness prior to the trial. No promise of money was made to any witness prior to the trial. G.L.: And was there paid any money after he trial? R.M.: I'm not gonna answer that.

    And he said: If someone manipulated evidence, if somebody didn't invesitgate something that should have been investigated, if somebody twisted it to fit up up Megrahi, or Fimah or Libya, then that person will go to jail. I mean that sincerely, that person should be prosecuted for that.

    We hope the Scottish Justice takes this fact to knowledge and goes into a faster action than with the case of Mr. Abdelbaset al Megrahi..

    *The first evidence photo PI-995 (15. Sept.1989/RARDE) show the original braun coloured MST-13 Fragment with a in-scratched letter "M" on it. This fragment was fabricated from a non function prototype cirquit board!
    The central fragment MST-13, (PT/35B) which is the only piece of evidence to connect Libya allegedly with the PanAm 103 assassination attempt, lies in the archive of the Scottish High Court and is ruled out today as proof, because it has not a in-scratched letter "M" on it and is green coloured. Thus it is free of doubts a falsification!
